Social Services employee Christine Cyrus told police she took two boxes of
the tags and gave them to friends who were having money problems.
Leroy and Starlet Shelton then sold eight thousand of the 95- cent tags to
the owner of the White Rock food market.
Police say Larry Wayne Dunn kept four thousand tags for himself, and sold
four thousand to David Lee Catlett who owns the Sunshine Market.
Lawyers for the two men argued their clients did not know they were buying
stolen property.
But Judge Joseph Serkes said it was stretching the imagination to buy
thousands of tags and think they were legal.
Cyrus is charged with grand larceny, the others with possession of stolen
property.
A grand jury could indict all five next month.

Danville's lead prosecutor says from the beginning he acted within the law.

The Reverend Thomas Motley had accused Bill Fuller and his assistant, James
Martin, of illegally obtaining Motley's criminal record, which was then
published as part of an ad in a local newspaper.
Just prior to the ad's appearance, Motley was acquitted of slapping a
student with a yardstick.
Fuller says the ad addressed what he saw as errors that appeared in the
paper's news accounts of the case.

Massengill

A federal jury in Roanoke has settled a dispute between the makers of
"Massengill" and "Summer's Eve."
C-B Fleet Company, a Lynchburg firm, sued SmithKline Beecham, a
multi-national company based in Great Britain.
Fleet won.
(----------------)
VO-NAT

The jury concluded Massengill's advertising claims were misleading.
A television commercial claimed "Massengill cleanses better than Summer's
Eve," though both consist of nothing more than vinegar and water.
Massengill touted its product as better because of a "redesigned nozzle."
Massengill's magazine ads claimed it was "now designed for better
cleansing" than Summer's Eve.

The Roanoke jury said both statement's were "either false or misleading,"
